[Blind-Computing] List Guidelines Reminder
Welcome to the Blind Computing mailing list. This list has been created for the purpose of discussing any and all aspects of computing with the blind user in mind. List Guidelines: The following are guidelines set forth by the list management team and every member is expected to abide by them. 1. Profanity and ethnic or racial slurs will not be tolerated. 2. Flaming of individuals or groups or organizations of any kind will not be tolerated. 3. Advertising is not permitted. 4. Political or religious inferences or discussions are not permitted. 5. Forwarded messages and attachments are not permitted. If you have an article or message of interest which relates to the nature of this list send it to the list owner and if it is appropriate, it will be posted to the list. Additionally if you want to make an announcement about another list send it to the list owner for consideration. Do not post it to the list before obtaining approval. 6. No off-topic posts! Simply placing off topic in the subject line does not make it all right. Off-topic posts include but are not limited to discussions of Blind advocacy groups, products for the blind that are not computer-related items, Transportation for the blind, and Job opportunities or concerns. If you are not sure whether or not your topic is appropriate contact the list owner for approval before posting. 7. Cross-posting is not permitted, and members should only post in the following manner: Using the TO: field with only one list address. The reason for this is that in cases where people setup their message rules to go by the To: field often times such rules get fowled up and in effect do not work properly. Also cross posting might allow you to reach many lists at the same time but the fact is such a post might not be on topic for each and every list. This practice does nothing ut clutter up such lists with unwanted off topic messages along with annoying the list moderators. The SUBJECT: field should be short and to the point without including any member names. 8. On topic posts may include but are not limited to discussions of Screen readers and magnifiers, computer peripherals, (scanners printers Braille devices etc.), Computer operation, Computer maintenance and Computer building. 9. Subject lines should be clear and to the point! Subject lines such as "I Need help" or "Does anyone know" are not descriptive and might be ignored by the very person who might otherwise have answered your query. 10. Keep the message content relative to the topic being discussed! If the conversation starts to drift from the original topic initiate a new conversation message with a new subject line to reflect the new topic. 11. No auto responders are to be used on this list! Those who use auto responders for vacations and so forth must make sure that this list is not included. Any person who sends an auto response message will be removed! No message headers please! Nobody wants to read an irrelevant message before reading your post. If you want to plug your business church or whatever do it somewhere else not on this list! If you want to include contact information and a tag line at the bottom of your messages feel free to do so but do not make another message out of it. Remember that there are people of different walks of life origin age groups and levels of computer experience on the list. Individuals with more knowledge and experience should be patient with those who are trying to become more proficient. If you have comments, questions or concerns about how the list is being run do not post them to the list contact the list management team. It is not the place for any individual list member to admonish another member for an improper post let the management Team do their job. Hopefully everyone will benefit from this list and it will allow all of us to be more comfortable and productive using these machines that help us get thru this thing called life! * By joining this list you accept the guidelines as outlined above, and agree to abide by them. If you don't agree, then you should unsubscribe. David A Ferrin-List Owner For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
Re: [Blind-Computing] Wow! $10 MP3 Player Really Is Accessible
Hi, This item is sold out and they are not getting any more of them. Linda Parent -Original Message- From: blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Gerald Levy Sent: Saturday, November 28, 2009 7:38 PM To: blind-computing Subject: [Blind-Computing] Wow! $10 MP3 Player Really Is Accessible I just received my Coby MP200 MP3 player from J&R, and it is truly simple and totally blind accessible. On top of the unit is the earphone jack into which you plug the included earbuds. The front panel has 5 discrete buttons arranged in a vertical column. From top to bottom, the buttons are skip forward, play/pause/power, skip backward, volume up and volume down. Pressing and holding the second button from the top for 5 seconds turns the unit on, and pressing and holding it again for 5 seconds turns it off. That's all there is to it. The bottom of the unit has a USB connector that plugs directly into a USB port, although a separate USB cable is also included. You just plug it into your PC and copy and paste the MP3 files you want to download. Just install the included AAA battery and you're good to go. The sound quality is surprisingly good, at least using a better pair of earbuds than the included ones. There is absolutely no learning curve, and no sighted assistance is required to use it. The included software, which I have not tried yet, is fully JAWS accessible. With 2gb of memory, it can hold up to 1,000 songs. This is probably the best blind accessible MP3 deal ever. It is still available from J&R for $10 with free shipping, but they probably won't last much longer at that price. They make wonderful stocking stuffers. The hardest part of using this gizmo is getting it out of the plastic blister pack which requires a heavy duty scissors to cut open. http://www.jr.com/coby/pe/CBY_MP2002G/ Gerald For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

Re: [Blind-Computing] ipods and windows
Yes, iTunes is pretty usable with windows. As far as holding your books, this depends on the type and size of the iPod. The accessible iPods are the shuffle, nano, and touch. You can have a range of 4GB which prob wouldn't hold all those books at once, all the way to 64GB iPod touch which would hold the books, plus much much more. lol On 11/30/09, Mystical Charm wrote: > I wanted to know if I bought an ipod if it will work well with windows.

Only the latest iPhone is accessible however. The iPhone 3GS. It has a built in screenreader called Voice over. you can check www.apple.com for some information about the iPhone 3GS and accessibility. I don't know if you've ever seen the iPhone, but it is solid touchscreen. This bothers some, and some love it. That is a personal opinion, and a disicion only you can make. As far as how well the iPhone 3GS screenreader "VoiceOver" works, it works with every thing on the device. Weather, Internet browser, contacts, ETC, ETC. It even works with quite a few 3rd party applications that are what makes the iPhone so popular. There are 2 iPhone mailing lists I know of, ones a yahoo group, the other google group. I believe the subscribe address for the yahoo group is aiphone-subscr...@yahoogroups.com and I am not sure about the google list, maybe viphone-subscr...@googlegroups.com but not sure about that last address. Hope this helps. On 11/30/09, Paula Kilburn wrote: Hi all, I don't know if this is the right question to ask on this list but does anyone know how good the I-phone is to use and does it have speech?

It has speech but I don't know how good or easy to use it is I have been told that you can tap the keys on the on screen keyboard and be told what the letter is then tapping it again will insert the letter that's as much as I know about it but can tell you more after Christmas as the grand daughter will have hers by then lol -Original Message- From: blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Paula Kilburn Sent: Monday, November 30, 2009 3:18 PM To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Subject: [Blind-Computing] I-phones Hi all, I don't know if this is the right question to ask on this list but does anyone know how good the I-phone is to use and does it have speech?
